UNSOLVED
IS THIS POSSIBLE
if so what would I need? first a little background. I'm moving out of my parents house to a piece of property across the street that my father bought and put a new manufatured home on. Everything is in his name(land, house ,utilities ect.) so heres my ? I had cable modem at my dads with 1 connection when I move he's getting a new desktop(4600) and I'll take my desktop(4500) across the street! Is it possible to share his cable internet connection since both houses are in his name? I know my connection would have to be wireless but how would I set that up and would it pick up from his modem to my house whic is probally 500 ft? I'm somewhat network savy but when it comes to this i'm confused about the hardware software ect. any help or links to diagrams would be great!

I would look for one of the more powerful wireless solutions. Put the router in the front window and you'd need to be by a window also. There is always repeaters and external antennas. Or since you're getting your housing for free you could get your own cable - you need television anyway.

Perhaps, but its the 'right' way to do a long haul like this. I've had bad luck with long distance wireless links, but I guess you could pull it off with a 500mW amp and a nice Yagi directional antenna.
